Performance
The overall result of how well the machine's functions work together is categorized by the performance of the equipment. The machine's overall effectiveness is determined by a combination of capacity, user-friendliness, visibility and lifting speed.
The working hydraulics and the engine go through extreme lifting and this places intense demands on the equipment. The lifting component is only a part of the operating cycle. Prior to the equipment being able to load or unload, the demands are placed on effective brakes, tight turning radius with high pulling process and precise control. All of these functions should be able to work in an optimum manner, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Each and every empty container handler is made with a straight six cylinder turbo charged engine equipped with an intercooler. The engines are adapted to the specific working conditions of empty container handling. These conditions consist of high power and high torque levels at low engine speeds.
Currently within the business, the engines of current models follow the strict legal environment demands. The engines provide low exhaust emission levels, low vibration and noise levels, low fuel consumption characterize all engine options.
Transmission
All of the trucks in the series are outfitted with exceptional and extremely durable hydrodynamic transmission systems. For quick acceleration with a minimum of "clutch-slip" the transmission has included gearbox and torque converter. The gear changing is electrically achieved by solenoid valves. These provide 3 forward and 3 reverse gears which are controlled by means of an easily operated multifunction lever.
Drive Axle
The rugged drive axles have engineered to deal with the various working settings in terminals and ports. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - hub reduction and differential. These features guarantee a minimum of strain on the transmission system. Additionally, the drive axles are fitted with a hydraulic braking system.
Service Brake System
All empty container handlers have wet disc brakes with oil cooled discs that are alternately fixed to and rotating with the hub. The disc brakes are pressed together by hydraulic pressure from the brake pedal, once the brakes are engaged. This offers effective braking to the unit. The system can cope with heavy cargo over a long period of time and is practically maintenance free. This system requires no need for brake adjustments and provides no fade.
